I discovered I need to die
Before I can truly appreciate being alive.
Some days it feels like there is nothing
But clatter from window shutters.
Open and close,
Inhale, exhale,
Final intake of breath
Feeds my weighted brain.
I have not died yet,
Though some days it feels so.
The destruction in my path
Seems far more distant
When my breathing steadies
And the race toward being dead
Suddenly carries no meaning.
In loving death, I learn to live.

Found this one forgotten in my journal! I've been going through some crazy times, keeping up with my writing has been a bit scattered, but I'm glad I found it because I like it. I think it is very meaningful and I'd love to hear interpretations and feedback!
